Nerve Block for Back Pain in Ankylosing Spondylitis
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve-blocking injection in the back muscles can relieve persistent back pain in people with ankylosing spondylitis (a condition causing spine inflammation and stiffness). The injection targets specific nerves to reduce pain while your current disease treatment continues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to treat chronic muscle pain in the upper back: a nerve block (numbing injection near the spine) and trigger point injections (shots directly into painful muscle knots). The goal is to see which approach works better for long-lasting relief.
This trial compares two types of pain-block injections (erector spinae plane block versus quadro-iliac plane block) given during lower back surgery to see which controls pain better. It may help you have less pain and need fewer pain medicines after your operation.
This study tests a numbing injection near the back muscles to see if it quickly relieves sudden low back pain and helps you move more easily. It may offer a new option for people who have trouble walking due to pain.
This study tests whether a nerve block (called an erector spinae plane block) can help relieve chronic low back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc at L4-L5 or L5-S1, when other treatments have not worked.
This trial tests whether a targeted back/neck numbing injection (an erector spinae block) can help reduce the amount of opioid pain medicine needed after posterior cervical spine surgery. It also aims to support an “enhanced recovery” pathway so patients may recover more comfortably and potentially faster.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (called an erector spinae plane block) given before surgery can reduce the amount of pain medicine and anesthesia needed during lumbar disc surgery. It may help people have less pain and fewer side effects.
